Where Slovenia’s euros are traveling to.
EuroBillTracker is:
“…an international non-profit volunteer team dedicated to tracking Euro notes around the world. Each user enters the serial numbers and location information for each note they obtain into EuroBillTracker.”
Basically, i’s like the European version of Where’s George?
There obviously aren’t too many entries for Slovenia yet, at least compared to a country like Germany, which is basically one gigantic, indecipherable smudge.
Interestingly, you can also break things down by city, so you can follow euros from Ljubljana, Maribor, Koper, Murska Sobota, etc..
So far, the site has tracked an astounding half a billion euros. I created an account and entered a 20-euro bill: it immediately told me that it was an Italian note, printed by Banca d’Italia in Rome. My inner geek smiled.
Now we’ll see where it goes.
(Thanks Matej!)

Sounds like a lot of fun. I think my inner nerd will smile as well.
How disappointing… My Fuffy (50 €) is from Berlin and I so hoped its origin is at least as exotic as that of Michael’s note…
MM: “it immediately told me that it was an Italian note”
It’s not so difficult. You just have to check
first letter of serial number.
You can also check if it is false.
got two from spain and one from the Netherlands…
Slovenia is not listed yet (in Wiki). What is the country code for Slovenia on a banknote?
Slovenia doesn’t (at present) print its own euro notes, so it doesn’t need to have its own code.
Looking at this, I assume Slovenia will get K, unless maybe the banknotes are going to be printed abroad (like tolars).
I wonder if someone Stateside could come up with a similar tracking system software for parents with college age children. It’d be interesting to see which city garners the biggest blotches of accumulated moolah.
My bet’s on either Boston or NYC.
DarkoV,
Please don’t count out the Midwest for that system. On a yearly basis, well-funded spoiled children descend on Midwestern college towns. I imagine the same is true in California, but I’m convinced that California etc. is an entirely different country.

What really amazes me is the grand total of Euros listed for the top users - second on the list has signed well over 6.000.000 €!!! Where did all of this money come from??
Well, I get most of my notes at my work. I work at a railwayoffice selling tickets.
